Child Support Modification - Oklahoma

MOTION TO MODIFY CHILD SUPPORT

Before you use this: Confirm the court with authority over the existing order, the case number, service method, and current modification standard. Oklahoma Human Services offers separate district-court and administrative-court motion forms. A proposed calculation does not itself change an order.

In the District Court of [COUNTY] County, State of Oklahoma

Case no.: [CASE NUMBER]

Movant asks the Court to review the existing child-support order and enter an appropriate modified order. Movant states:

1. Parties and existing order

1. Movant is [NAME AND RELATIONSHIP TO CHILD OR CHILDREN]. Respondent is [NAME AND RELATIONSHIP].
2. The order to be reviewed was entered by [COURT OR TRIBUNAL] in case [CASE NUMBER] on [DATE]. The current support amount is $[AMOUNT] per [PERIOD]. A copy is attached as Exhibit [LETTER].
3. The order concerns [NUMBER] child or children. Identify the children in the manner required by the court's filing and privacy rules: [IDENTIFICATION].
4. The last complete judicial or administrative review of support, if known, occurred on [DATE / UNKNOWN].

2. Facts supporting review

5. Since the existing order or last complete review, the following circumstances have changed. Give dates and amounts where available, and omit any item that does not apply:

• Income or employment: [WHAT CHANGED, WHEN, PRIOR AND CURRENT INCOME, AND AVAILABLE RECORDS].
• Parenting schedule: [WHAT CHANGED, WHEN, AND THE CURRENT SCHEDULE].
• Health insurance or medical expenses: [WHAT CHANGED, WHEN, AND DOCUMENTATION].
• Other child-related circumstances: [WHAT CHANGED, WHEN, AND DOCUMENTATION].
• Other relevant facts: [FACTS].

6. The attached proposed child support calculation, if available, is Exhibit [LETTER]. It uses the information available to Movant as of [DATE] and proposes support of $[AMOUNT] per [PERIOD]. Identify any unavailable or disputed input: [INPUT AND REASON].
7. The difference between the current and proposed amounts is $[AMOUNT] per [PERIOD], or [PERCENT]%. Movant requests that the Court determine whether the current modification standard is satisfied; the figures alone do not alter the existing order.

3. Requested order

Movant requests that the Court, after the required process:

1. Determine the parties' current support obligations using the evidence and applicable Child Support Guidelines;
2. If modification is warranted, set support at $[PROPOSED AMOUNT] per [PERIOD], or at the amount the Court determines, effective on the date permitted by law;
3. Address health-insurance coverage, uncovered medical expenses, and any other child-related support item that the Court finds appropriate;
4. Address any claimed arrears separately on the evidence, without treating this motion as a waiver or automatic change to amounts already due; and
5. Grant any other appropriate relief within the Court's authority.
